The Museum Mill is the middle of the three mills in a row near Schermerhorn. Together they form a beautiful, typically Dutch picture. The Museum Mill is open to the public from April 1 to November 1.
You can explore the mill from top to bottom (partially safely behind glass) and see exactly how a watermill works and how the Schermerpolder was formed 400 years ago by draining the Schermermeer lake. You'll also get a sense of how people used to live and work in a polder mill. A film is shown in the cinema that explains the history of the polder and the development of polder drainage. The mill operates during opening hours, subject to weather conditions and maintenance.
